Hating him because he's a despicable, foul-mouthed child of a man that has not even an ounce of class in one of the most public and fundamentally 'American' jobs that there is?

    I can go on, of course.

    Ah yes, I answer your question about why people hate him by stating facts and you call it crying, and then proceed to ignore it by simply saying that's how I see things. Glad we've pointed out how intellectually dishonest you're being, here.

    Ah, the first correct thing you've said. You're right, I misspoke about it being a question. You made an incorrect statement and I corrected it. There are countless real, legitimate reasons for people to dislike or hate Trump. Claiming otherwise is just sticking your head in the sand going "LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

    I think you're confusing me with someone else.

    Shit, you're right. For that I do apologize. Regardless, claiming it's "just how I perceive it" is objectively false.

    Perceive? Your the one rationalizing the non-submission of SARs to the Secret Service and the Treasury, which are chargeable offenses.

    You have to because waiting for the perfect candidate would mean everything you support died. You're also confusing better with perfect. Better is a really low bar and there are millions of people better than Trump.

    Guess you missed the news where Cohen said that Sekulow, Trump's lawyer, told Cohen to lie about the Trump Tower Moscow project. You know, the project they were trying to get well into Trump's presidency? Yeah, fucking ignore that.

    I used to work in a bank. AML is extremely serious, if you don't report it you can kiss your job goodbye. They train you constantly on it even if it's not directly relevant to your position.

    The idea of an AML alert being vetoed by management instead of reported to the authorities is fucking unthinkable, that is 100% corruption and likely criminal.

    Well... if you actually know what's going on in the world, this "money laundering" is absolutely not new. Deutsche bank just got in the crosshairs of some power players, that's all. Nothing unusual about their activity, not compared to other big companies.

    Just move on, a few heads will get cut, but nothing serious. Just like the panama papers.

    Deutsche Bank is notoriously shady, so no it's not usual.

    And money laundering is a major crime.

    In short, Deutsche Bank, which has a history of tax evasion, sanctions violations and money-laundering convictions (and is widely seen as a Russian money laundering operation), was the only bank willing to lend to Trump once he'd burned through at least a billion of daddy's money. Prior to the election he was in the hole at least $360m to them.

    Activity on the Trump and Kushner accounts was picked up by the bank's anti-money laundering warnings (if you've ever worked in a bank you know how serious those are, you're legally required to report them to the government), but when staff recommended they be reported top executives buried them. At least one employee may have been fired for asking too many questions.

    Nothing suspicious there lol.
    Every major bank has a history of tax evasion and sanctions violations. Any international transaction could be consider "flagged" as they all go through special review processes. This sounds like like anti-Trump zealots talking out of their ass and violating major banking privacy laws in the process.

    "Activity on the Trump and Kushner accounts was picked up by the bank's anti-money laundering warnings (if you've ever worked in a bank you know how serious those are, you're legally required to report them to the government)"

    No that's really not true at all, you're required to document and investigate everything which this lady did. She then forwarded it and it was determined that it wasn't suspicious or illegal. So unless you have information on the actual transactions in question, you're full of shit. Deutsche probably flags thousands of transactions a day

    Laws still apply to private companies. Some of them mandate reporting money-laundering. None mandate a platform.

    I guess I am very skeptical of wild accusations against Trump now, specially coming from NY Times.

    If he has done anything wrong, hope he gets some punishment, but not a single cell of me believe that this accusation has any weight right now, sorry guys, you cried wolf too many times.
    I may not be an overachiever, but my Druid is richer than half of Venezuela.
